Get something named after you.

Date: 24th December 2011.

Location: East Guldeford, East Sussex, UK.

Attendees: Yvonne Weatherlake, Belita Pilcher, Allan Pilcher.



I’d love to say that I’ve achieved so much in my life that someone saw fit to name something of historical significance after me, like a building or even a park bench, but no. This was purely as a result of this book.

It was a Christmas present I’d requested & it didn’t even turn out to be that in the end! I knew it was a task in the book to get something named after you & after finding out that you could actually name a star; I sent the link to my girlfriend. She duly ordered it & waited to give it to me as a Christmas present. Unfortunately, after ordering a lot of presents myself, I assumed it was addressed to me & opened it not realizing.

Still, I got it, she named it & I’m pleased to say that it is ticked off the list. The star was named SMP280881. My initials & the date I was born. Not very original, I know, but I think it sounds scientific.
